Light of Dawn Review

Light of Dawn is the third and final book in the Remnant Trilogy by Vannetta Chapman. (You do need to read the first and second book in this series to fully understand what has taken place.) Nine months ago, a solar flare took out all of technology and ended the world as we know it today. Shelby and her crew have found a way to live out their faith in spite of what has taken place in the world around them. Now their faith is about to be tested again. This time the governor has asked the group to venture out of Texas in search of the National Government. Overcoming obstacles, facing off with those intent on killing for the fun of it, and facing tests of their own faith, each member of Shelby's crew has to contend with all that has happened and find their own place in this new society. More than what is just what is happening in this dysotopian future, this book shows the true meaning of friendship, love, and faith. "When you're completely lost, when you have no idea what comes next or why things are happening, faith is what gets you through. Even if you're not sure what you believe, you keep doing the things you know in your heart are the right things. That is faith, Carter. It's not the absence of questions. It's continuing, day in and day out, in spite of those questions." This quote says it all. Chapman has done a fantastic job of weaving together believable and lovable characters with a sense of hope and faith in a very scary "what if" scenario! I absolutely loved this series and read everyone of the books in one or two sittings! This series often had me on the edge of my seat wondering how the characters will survive and I am sad to see it end. If you haven't checked out Vannetta Chapman, you really must do so! She is a prolific author who revels in researching and producing viable, conflict-driven, and sometimes out-right scary dysotopian fiction as well as believable and enduring Amish fiction!
